When to use it

Escape it as " inside double-quoted HTML attributes.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&quot;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\0022"; }

const s = "\u0022";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system, or — as here — when the character has a special meaning in HTML. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
